Backstory:

Criminal Directory originated from the quiet suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. It was started in 2005 by four high school friends: lead singer and rhythm guitarist Jackson “Jax” Carrington, lead guitarist Mick “Phantom” Sullivan, bassist Rick “Rumble” Nolan, and drummer Alex “Animal” Jones. The group bonded over their shared love for punk rock music and their disdain for the conventional life in the suburbs.

They began by playing at local bars, steadily building a reputation for their raw energy and unique sound. Their breakthrough came in 2007 with their critically acclaimed debut album, “Tales from the Suburbs”, which showcased their innovative blend of punk rock with a touch of grunge and hard rock. Their rebellious lyrics and punk attitude quickly garnered a loyal fan base.

Title:

“Suburbia’s Most Wanted”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C G Am E
We’re just a bunch of restless souls,
F C G
Tired of living the same old roles,
C G Am E
No desire to fit in their mold,
F C G
We’re Suburbia’s Most Wanted.

(Chorus)
Am E F C
Suburbia’s Most Wanted, we’re on the run,
G Am E F
Broken the norms, just for fun.
C G Am E
We won’t surrender, we won’t yield,
F C G
We’re the outcasts, the unsealed.

(Verse 2)
C G Am E
In the quiet streets, we are the noise,
F C G
We’re the misunderstood boys,
C G Am E
With our music as our only voice,
F C G
We’re Suburbia’s Most Wanted.

(Chorus)
Am E F C
Suburbia’s Most Wanted, we won’t back down,
G Am E F
This is our rebellion, in this town.
C G Am E
We’re not the villains, just misunderstood,
F C G
We’re just living, as we should.
